ENTHRALLED

Fourteen days ago, this horse ran excellently over 1800m on Sha Tin turf. After a slow start, he tracked the pace steadily and gradually closed in in the final stages to secure second place, losing only half a length. Stepping up to 2000m on Sha Tin turf this time, he carries three pounds less. He has proven ability over this distance and his timing figures are not poor. If he adopts a stalking style again, his closing speed in the final stages is arguably the strongest in this group. He rates highly for this race, with the jockey very familiar with the horse and a harmonious strategy between jockey and trainer to maintain his winning momentum.
